Founded in 1986, 1000 Friends of
Florida helps ensure that the people of this state have a voice
in deciding how Florida grows and develops. A statewide nonprofit
membership organization, our mission includes serving as a "watchdog"
over the implementation of Florida's 1985 Growth Management Act.
Our attorneys and planners take on legal challenges of statewide
significance and provide guidance on how communities can plan more
effectively for the future.
On other, related fronts, 1000 Friends
of Florida advocates for the protection of environmentally sensitive
lands, the provision of affordable housing and the revitalization
of waterfront communities. We work to promote sensible patterns
of development and discourage costly sprawl. Above all, we strive
to give citizens the tools needed to keep Florida's communities
prosperous and livable.
Planning for Tomorrow: A Citizen's
Guide to Smarter Growth in Florida describes this state's nationally
recognized approach to smart planning for the future, and outlines
how we as citizens can help.
Please note that Florida's growth
management process is constantly evolving. This report describes
the process as of January 1999.
